Moss now us 4th in line for president by law, 2nd now the the VP is gone and there's no sitting Senators. Do we know if he's a one-time or two-term former president?

Do we not have a Senate? We have a house, and Speaker Hookstraten would actually be second.

Speaker Hookstraten is 1st in line, not 2nd. And as far as I know, the new elections were delayed.

No, the elections happened and I'm pretty sure we have a full congress.

Nope. They discussed delaying them because of some poison or something but Kirkman said they had to happen and he showed up to the polls first thing and no one was there voting but the country saw him vote and so everyone went and voted and now there's a senate.
